Acts 9: 36-42

Bible Basis: Acts 9:36-43 Bible Truth: When Tabitha died, faithful followers of Christ sent for the Apostle Peter. Memory Verse: " But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up" (Acts 9:40). The sunday school lesson is discussed about Peter arose and went into the upper chamber. An all the widows stood by him weeping.

She had heard of his healing powers and was desperate for a miracle of her own. As she traveled to her destination she was side tracked by a woman on the street that told her “The blessings are now done here, in the tailor’s chapel”. This brought up the motifs of greed and as you read on you find out that the woman does this repeatedly. People in need will believe anything to help their situations and in this chapter you exactly see that. This also leads you to think that if these people were in fact healed at the tailor’s chapel could it all just be psychological? Could it just be in their heads? They believe so badly and put all of their faith in god to provide them with a miracle that they believe anything. They could just heal naturally on their own, but to them it is considered a miracle. This allows you to question the validity of all miracles.

As you read this week’s textbook reading assignments, take notes in response to these questions and statements. This study guide will help you to prepare for your quiz.

In this poem she is clearly stating that she was removed from her “Pagan Land” which is Africa, to be relocated in a place where there was much criticism and racial segregation. She was taught the ways of Christian belief and she implies that through God’s mercy she was able to overcome. She believed that God would not turn his back on her and that he would comfort through the trials she faced in the society in which she lived.

Though that begs the question on why she would feel the need to keep the secret so deeply hidden. She only sang in a small dinner club and it was considered respectable even by Rev. Merrill. Concern for how her mother and sister would react isn’t realistic after she had Johnny while going to her singing lessons and then birthing a child outside of wedlock. The same can be said for becoming a scandal. She didn’t need to lie about her dress or about her singing career but she did anyway. After all, that was why Tabitha made sure her job was good in the eyes of the Lord with Rev. Merrill. If she didn 't need reassurance for her peace of mind, then why did she guard the secret if she was willing to share said secret with a Rev. Merrill. Other than the fact that Rev. Merrill becomes the father of her child, there isn 't a reason to trust him more than family.

At her darkest and most heart aching moments she finds comfort. " Thus saith the Lord, refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears, for thy work shall be rewarded, and they shall come again from the land of the enemy" (Jeremiah 31.16). Over and over she weeps sweetly as she reads scripture giving her the strength and encouragement to carry on. Believing whole heartedly in God’s wisdom for her life. At one point in her captivity she finds out that her son is about a mile away and she is given permission to visit him.

In chapter twenty one, titled "Concerning the Queen of the South," the author describes the Queen of Ethiopia. She was born as a Christian prophecy described, and is destined to dispute the disbelievers. She was

Abigail gained power and a voice within the town of Salem. The community listens to everything that she says and takes her word as credible. She and the other girls confess to practicing witchcraft so people, such as the court, believe that she and the other are telling the truth. The town is scared of witchcraft and unnatural things, so they will listen to even young unreliable girls over well-respected citizens. When some unknown evil comes into a town everyone is scared and will listen to anyone who speaks out and seems as though they are telling the truth. While in the courtroom, the girls follow in Abigail’s footsteps as she pretends to see the devil and spirits lurking in the courtroom, throughout the town, and at night. While Elizabeth was talking to John Proctor, her husband, she describes how the girls follow Abigail and how much power she has in the courts decisions: “Abigail brings the other girls into the courtroom, and where she walks the crowd spits like the sea for Israel And folks are brought before

Furthermore, when the character Elizabeth Proctor is conversing with her husband John Proctor, who had an affair with Abigail, she alludes to the fact that Abigail seems to have gained credibility in the court on matters relating to accusing people of witchcraft, “Abigail brings the other girls into the court, and where she walks the crowd will part like the sea of Israel” (50). In this quote Abigail is being compared to Moses when he needed to cross the Red Sea, and so God parted the sea for him and his Israelite followers. Abigail’s traits of being able to lead a whole group through court and have them believe all of her false accounts of witnessing witchcraft is revealed and readers can soon infer that she is able to dissemble her truthfulness with falsities that end up causing lives to come to an abrupt end. This is significant because it tells us that in Miller’s development of Abigail he uses a Biblical allusion in order to get the point across that Abigail is now powerful and trustworthy in the court, especially with other girls following her in her

We are currently revising the scripture of Romans. I was assigned Romans 15: 1- 13. The whole assignment was meant for us to get a deeper understanding of this passage. Our teacher, Mr.Handle gave us 5 sources to look into to get as much information needed. The first assignment was to create an outline that would guide us through the essay. The next assignment was to copy and paste a word for word copy of our passage and a thought for thought copy and read over it and notice the difference in scripture. After we put the word for word passage into Google Drawings and picked it apart, trying to obtain as much information as we could. Right there he gave us at least 4 sources. Our last

Acts 8:26-40 teaches us a variety of things about mission as well as evangelism’s role within it. It reminds us whose mission it is, that radical inclusion is anticipated, that evangelism is an important aspect of but is not in itself mission, and that the Holy Spirit plays a fundamental and essential role in mission and effective evangelism.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, war means, "A state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country". War is usually started due to political entities, nations, or in earlier times to resolve political or territorial disputes. War was used to take over land, take over other lands resources to suffice their population rather than tax their civilisations. Yet when did war begin and how has it progressed through history and time?

Reproductive technology has come a long way in the last twenty years and continues to make expansive advances. The question "where do babies come from" is becoming harder and harder to answer. The response used to sound something like "when a man and a woman love each other very much…" now with in vitro fertilization, fertility drugs, and sperm/egg donors as well as future advances the answer will take on a new twist "…they go to see a doctor and look through a catalog to pick what kind of baby they want."
